Somebody Pays.

Some find it convenient to live at their ease,
And all obligations to shirk;
On every occasion to do as they please,
And give no attention to work.
AS iders and sluggards, as loungers and drones,
They follow their indolent ways,
BY being thus lax, increasing the tax
That somebody pays.
Free lunches, free passes, they have at command
Rich gifts that to others are lost,
And gayly they feast on the fat of the land,
And travel regardless of cost.
But for al the fine banquets, the wear and the tear
Ut public or private displays,
Enough you may 60 free, tits as sure as can be
That somebody pays.
some boast Of the credit they freely obtain,
Inc taxes from which they're exempt,
ana to cancel the favors received, it is plain
Ihey've made not single attempt;
with honor at stake, they consent to remain
In debt to the end of their days,
ana with insolent pride, free horse they ride,
For which somebody pays.
Some 60 through the world with a niggardly
4 heart,
And carry miserly purse,
snIie others. with liberal zeal, do their part
AID for ff6sSlH 66GHfst stbfiF De treasures disburse;
Tor losses and needless delays,
Fo, waste and neglect, it is well to reflect
That somebody pays.

Stingy.
Youths Companion.

The genuine miser usually devotes
more energy to keeping his money than
would suffice to make several fortunes.
1t cannot be that the expenditure of
force is balanced by the personsal salts
faction derived from success. Many
stories are in circulation illustrating the
stinginess of certain farmer.
He one day went into store to buy
six feet of rope, and the dealer, know
ing his peculiar love of money, told
him he might have it for ten cents.
I'll give you five
Il can't sell it for that. Why, man,
you've got plenty of money, and ought
not grumble !
'Yes, but times are powerful hard
Can't stand that price He went
away, and after remaining about two
hours, came back to ask, THAT rope
fell any?'
NO.

The next day he entered the store
and said, Il hear rope is fallin' all over

Two days later he came back.
Say he said, shain't you got some
old rope you can sell cheap7'

The dealer, worn out by the siege,
offered him the required quantity for
five cents. The old man carefully
measured it, and said with a disappointed
air, It's three inches short. Can't

The purchaser laid three somewhat
dirty one cent postage stamps upon the
counter, and hurried away, to leave
the shopman no time for repentance.

Purity for Purity.
The Philanthropist

LHe IHttuHtHOPtot'
Social influence is a most potent
agent either to perpetuate or to abolish
the double standard of morality. The
woman socially is generally relentlessly
ostracised, while the unchaste man, the
Young man who 'sows wild oats, if
possessed of money, or of wealthy con-
nections, is condoned and welcomed.
In the parlor and in society, woman,
theoretically at least, is supreme. Her
attitude in this domain towards the un-
chaste man, the known libertine, is a
vital matter for good or i'll. The key
note of woman's duty socially was
sounded admirably by bright and
morally brave young woman, Miss Cloth
ier, of Massachusetts,, who in late re-
sponse to an address of welcome, speak
ing in behalf of twelve thousand young
women, organized as the National
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
with several thousand young men as
honorary members, said: 'We ask as
young ladies that the young gentle
men who stand side by side with
us as honored members, the young
gentlemen with whom we associate,
should stand on the same high moral
plane as ourselves. We ask them just
what they ask of us, PmiU tor Purity.
Nothing less than this should be the
social demand of virtuous womanhood
everywhere. :,
Nor are chaste, reputable men with
out grave social responsibility for theil
bearing towards those who, as libertines
prey upon womanhood and girlhood.--
Says Canon Wilberforce, very peril
nently: IF men of culture and stand
ing in society would combine to mete
out the same penalty to one who delib'
erately robs woman of her purity thai
they would infict upon one who cheat:
at cards, or fails to settle his racing debts
the effect would be immediate and salu
tary.' The White Cross pledge: Te
treat all women with respect, and en-
deavor to protect them from wrong ano
degradation should be the badge O
honor for men, requisite for social re
cognition among true gentlemen.

rendered worthless. Abundance of
evidence can be obtained from those
familiar with the seal fishery, to cor
roberate this statement, and to show
the Importance of preserving this
breeding ground for the use and per
petuation of this important branch Of
national industry. Russia claimed
and exercised for century or more,
the right to protect her seal fishery,
and the United States, as her lawful
successor in the premises, has done
the same. 1t is only within the past
few years that attempts have been
made to poach on this national seal
ing domain, by applying to it the
common law of freedom of the sea,
beyond one marine league from the
shore; while most of the seals killed
by trespassers are females and their
young, found often many miles from
land, the killing of which is pro-
hibited by law.
To all intents and purposes, Ben
ring Sea may be properly termed and
should be regarded, as an enclosed
sea, as efectually enclosed as if the
United States owned the Asiatlc coast
on the west, inasmuch as the imagin-
airy line extending from Behring's
Straits to Attou Island, having been
proposed and granted by the nation
owning the shore beyond, is as legit-
innate and binding against all poach-
ers as though the Asiatic coast itself
formed the boundary. While on the
south, the Aleutian chain of Islands
makes as well defined a boundary as
Goes the coast of Alaska on the east.
If the sovereignty of Behring Sea is
to be abandoned by the United States,
which purchased it for the specific
object of securing the valuable rights
of fishery contained in it, and the pos
session of which trespasses on the
rights of no other power, then not
only will these national industries be
soon destroyed, but her whole pur-
chase from Russia will be rendered
comparatively worthless.
Viewed in this light, the claim of
the United States to the sovereignty
over Behring Sea as a fur sealing
domain, is as real and valuable as if
it were land, and must be recognized
as such by every government and by
the civilized world No other con
struction can be given to it by impair
tial statesmen of any country who
examine into the facts on which the
claim rests.

Ok Friday, December 9. 1887. the
Legislature received from the King
two bills without the royal signature,
accompanied by His Majesty's reat
sons for not signing them. The first
is the bill abolishing Governors, the
second providing for the discharges Of
duties heretofore performed by the
Governors. 1t appears that the royal
veto in this case was a surprise to the
Ministers, as the King had assured
them the previous day that he should
take their advice by signing all the
bills passed by the Legislature. Re-
garding the power of veto the Constr
tuition ARTICLE 49, says
Every bill which shall have passed
the Legislature shall, before It Be
comes law, be presented to the King
If he approve he shall sign 1t and it
shall thereby become q law, but. If
not. he shall return it. with his OBJ
iections, to the Legislature, which
shall enter the objections at large on
their journal and proceed to recon
slider it. If after such reconsidera-
ton it shall be approved by two
thirds vote of all the elective mem
bers of the Legislature, it shall be-
come a law"
1t therefore looks as if these m
ures passed by a large mair
of the Legislature must be PAD
again by a two thirds vote, leaving
out the Ministers. This is the way
the Legislature seems to have taken
the subject, having appointed Mon
day. the 18th instant, for the recon
sideration above prescribed.

generations. In another article our
evening contemporary charges the
Legislature with precipitancy in eff
fecting legislation that the country
has not demanded and against which
itself and a certain legal gentleman
had raised warning voices. Probably
the representatives of the people have
as correct ideas of what the country
wants as either the Bulletin or its dis
tinguished correspondent. At all
events neither of those authorities
has given one clear, definite or valid
reason against the specific legislation
that they wanted delayed. We con
tend that in the main all the legisla-
ton effected by the Legislature at
this session has been in the line of
what the best public opinion has for
years demanded. Some of it has
been designed for the undoing of the
mischievous reactionary policy of the
last administration. Much of it and
part of what our contemporaries
writers have antagonized, has been
found imperatively necessary by Min
listers to enable them to administer
efficiently the affairs of their depart

The cry against Capitalization IS
no unfamiliar sound in other eoun-
tries. 1t often amounts to fierce
agitation. Sometimes it succeeds IN
the changing of Cabinets or systems.
Again the opposing policy of decen--
tralization meets with crushing and
lasting defeat. Capitalization is right
as often as it is wrong. Circum
stances decide the question, although
perhaps might may make the wrong
win at times. 1t was against central
ization of sovereignty in matters
affecting national character that the
Southern Confederacy revolted. The
doctrine of estate Rights" was essen
TALLY one of decentralization, but 1t
drew forth patriotic enthusiasm for
the integrity of the sovereign Union,
which rallied force enough to make
that policy of decentralization the
''lost cause" There can be no ques-
ton in the minds of Americans who
believe in their country as zone and
inseparable, now and forever" that
Capitalization was the true principle
in that terrible crisis But if any
statesman should arise in the United
States to agitate for Capitalization
that would take away individual
State Governments, with the local
autonomy enjoyed in such from the
birth of the Constitution, that states
man would be politically dead in
quicker time than it took him to pre-
pare his first speech, and there would
not be enough mourners at the fun
eral to make it respectable. That
would be carrying Capitalization too
far, and the people would have none
of it.
Canadians who are opposed to Sir
John Macdonald's regime see central
ization to be resisted in what they
deem encroachments of the Federal
Government upon the functions
given the Provincial Governments by
their Constitution, the Imperial Act
of Confederation An instance of
such Capitalization in the Dominion
has Just been exhibited in the in
reference of the Federal Govern
ment with the policy of the
Manitoba Government to have a rail
way built down the Red River Val
ley to connect with the American
system There are grounds Of Just
complaint, we think, against the Do
minion Government for pushing the
idea of Capitalization too far in regard
to that as we'll as other matters.
Again, in the United Kingdom we see
more than one movement afoot to
accomplish what is generally recog-
nized would be desirable decentraIi-
cation. Such are the Home Rule
movement for ireland, With the other
kingdoms likely to come in for the
same privilege, and the agitation for
some sort Of responsible municipal
government for She great metropolis.
All the foregoing facts and examples
show that the question as to whether
Capitalization is right or wrong,
whenever raised, must be decided by
the circumstances of the particular
case.

IT may fairly be claimed that some
of the recent utterances of our over
wise contemporary, the Butetsa, with
reference to the present Ministry and
Legislature have been not only I'M
fair and apparently malicious, but
puerile and ridiculous as well. Wit
ness the childish and spiteful fling
in Tuesdays issue at what it Is
pleased to call inexperienced Min
isters and amateur Legislators" Per
haps the Bulletin Will be good enough
to tell us what it means by anna
teur Legislators. Our nelghbor
may have a special dictionary com
piled for its own use, but we under
stand the antithesis OF amateur to
be professional" and if the Ian
guage used means anything, and if
any inference can be drawn there
from, it must be that one of the cry
ing wants of this country IS body
of professional" Legislators. just
what professional Legislators may
be and wherein they are superior to
the amateur" variety IS something
which we confess we do not quite IN
derstand We know what professional
politicians are, and we have been leS
from a somewhat extensive observe
ton of such persons to regard them
as rather a scurvy lot. class whose
absence from the active management
of public affairs is very much to be
desired
The professional politician is
fortunately very scarce in our present
Legislative body, and it IS doubtless
owing to this fact that SO large an
amount of business has been So vel
done in so short time, with so little
unpleasant friction and with 5yeh a
general subordination of private and
personal interests to the genera pub

Ministers are concerned, it may be
remarked that Mr.. Green Is o gentle
man Of mature years, fine general
culture, large experience in Hawaiian
affairs and now serving his third term
as a Cabinet Minister. Mr.. Brown Is
certainly neither chicken in years
nor tyro in public business. 1t Is
true that neither Mr. Thurston nor
Mr.. Ashford has ever before held a
ministerial position, but they are
neither of them boys, they are both
possessed of unquestionable talent,
and Mr.. ThurstOn has had experience
in Legislative matters wherein he
made for himself a record which
may, without any exaggeration, be
called splendid, the files of the Bulle.
tin during the session Of 1886 being
our witness. Perhaps our contem-
porary holds that no man should
ever be a Cabinet Minister unless he
has been a Cabinet Minister before,
which is like the good old lady who
cautioned her son never to 60 near
the water until he had learned 70
swim. -

SOME remarks are due in reply to
the Bulletins speculations regarding
our position in respect to the power
of appointment and dismissal rightly
to be vested in Ministers. As the
laws are administered by Ministers
to a very large extent through the
medium of subordinate officials, IN
equal degree do Ministers become
responsible for the conduct Of such
officials. Our position is simply that
Ministers should have control in pro
portion to their responsibility, and
that they are as responsible for such
control as for the exercise of their other
functions 1t would certainly be an
abuse of that control for Ministers to
dismiss officials without knowledge of
their incompetence or misconduct, or
investigation into charges of either of
these counts. Our contemporary cites
the systems of the United Kingdom,
Cape Colony and Australia, where
charges must be substantiated against
an official before the Minister can
dismiss him. In the United King
dom, and from the citation of our
contemporary we should Judge in the
colonies named, there is an estab-
hshed civil service system through
which Ministerial control is exercised.
The Bulletin calls the thing in ques-
ton ''this absolute power placed in
the hands of Minister'S" and doubts
''if it exists in any constitutional

Hon. Letellier de st. Just, Governor
of the Province of Quebec, dimissed
his Ministry whilc it was supported
by majority in the representative
branch of the Legislature, because
he would not assent to a whole

appeal to the electors resulted in the
